My girlfriend and I took a small "getaway" this weekend and i convinced her to go on a short hike with me yesterday morning. We spotted this sweet little hooch about a mile down the lonestar trail from 1375 in New Waverly, TX. They did everything using natural materials and built the frame around a downed tree. Since it got chilly the night before, we left them a mag bar and striker...just in case the bow drill didn't work. But either way, beautiful workmanship and it was a really cool find for her first hike! Thanks for looking.

I've never found anyone else's stuff but i did find a piece of gear I had lost the year prior!

I had an old whistle that was my dads from when he was in the National Guard, I carried it as a distress whistle when i went hiking and such. When I was around 15 I was on an annual trip in the Idaho mountains. We'd set up a base camp and then do overnights and day hikes out of the camp. On the overnight we had camped in the woods next a meadow. The next year we go back to the same place and someone says "Hey guys, I found this whistle hanging on a tree." Imagine my surprise when it was mine haha!

that's funny as heck that we were there too... wonder if it was a fellow BCUSA member, or an orphaned bushcrafter who doesn't know we exist...

found this just off the trail recently, originally posted here
still have no idea what its original purpose is, really looks like a piece of a stove. so funny how i was thinking about how annoyed i was with myself for not getting my wood-gas stove running as nice as the ones i've seen here and on utube, and i looked at my feet and this thing was sitting there.
i think the smaller hole in the top is a pivot for a cap, gotta be a stove or burner of some kind. notice the handles on the sides.
